What is involved in the Promotion Definition Step?

The Promotion Definition Step is a crucial phase in the deployment process within Copado, where the primary focus is on establishing the project linked to the pipeline and selecting the relevant environments for the promotion of changes. This step involves specifying which Salesforce environments will be used for the deployment and ensuring that they are correctly set up in relation to the chosen project.

By linking the project to the pipeline, teams can effectively manage the flow of their changes from one environment to another in a structured way. This organization helps ensure that the right code and configurations are deployed at the right time and to the appropriate environments, facilitating a smoother release process.

The other aspects mentioned, such as selecting user stories to promote, creating the destination environment, and reviewing deployment logs, are important components of Release Management but occur in different phases of the deployment process. Selecting user stories pertains more to the planning and scope definition phase, whereas creating a destination environment is often handled earlier in the setup process. Reviewing deployment logs is a post-deployment activity essential for monitoring but not part of defining the promotion strategy itself.
